The Oilers had a better home record and the identical number of wins on the road.

Their goals against aren't even really that far off.

Same save percentage?

Same team save percentage?

Yeah, I mean...

So a lot of what we looked at this season was, okay, win the division, get through into the final four and see if you can give yourself a puncher's chance against the best team in hockey.

And now the Oilers didn't even make it to face the Golden Knights.

Yeah, and so I don't look at the avalanche today and say wrong players heard at the wrong time.

McKinnon in game three, McCarr before the series started against their war of attrition with the Minnesota Wild.

I think some things that came back to bite the Colorado avalanche were

what they've shown with the lumberyard in these playoffs.

They've overhandled the puck.

They've made some significant miscues.

And so much of what's played out has actually been very controllable.

This is a team that has in some way shot themselves in the foot.

I have not heard that.

I saw the quote-unquote report, which was a tweet, with some guessing.

There had been some speculation behind the scenes that,

Nashville was trying to bring in someone from another organization.

We know that they were shot down in their push to get Eric Tolsky or they raised a question about Eric Tolsky and that query was denied by Nashville.
